I grew up reading. Obviously, I still do. While I mostly read books when I was younger, I also read a lot of Hitchcock mystery magazine and short stories in a couple of Science Fiction magazines. I always felt it was a good way to find new authors without having to wade through a 200, 300 or 400 page book. This is because once I start reading a story, I feel I have to read the entire thing, in order to fairly judge the author & story.

If pricing is fair, I would be a customer for Amazon's new service.

amazon is doing what it should do. piece by piece, bit by bit, the old business plan for the dead tree media is being destroyed. let he who has ears to hear, hear.

Freedom marches on.

I can see some of the confusion. I used a dating site called Book Lovers Dating. online dating actually met someone and fell in love. So, I guess that makes me a book lover. But, I really like teh tactile sense of page turning, and flipping forward and back to a page. The antiicipation knowing your nearing the end of a book. I use a Reader not a Kindle, but its really not the same thing.
